SUNDAY'S RESULTS

Asheville over Lexington 8-5
Luis Ordosgoitti pitched two terrific innings which were unfortunately followed by 1.2 really tough innings. Ordosgoitti ended up giving up 11 hits, seven runs (6 earned) and two home runs to go with his five strikeouts. Nathan Pettus (one run allowed in 3.1 innings) and Euris Quezada got things under control, but the Legends were never able to catch up. And that is really a shame because there were several very nice days at the plate from Legends hitters - John Hinson (2x5, HR), Matt Duffy (3x4, 2B, RBI), Alex Todd (2x4, BB) and Mike Kvasnicka (2x5, 2-run HR).

Omaha over Oklahoma City 10-7
Henry Sosa had a rough outing, but Juan Abreu was handed the opportunity for a win and allowed a three-run home run instead. Scott Moore and Justin Ruggiano contributed home runs and Brett Wallace had a 3x5 two RBI day. Ruggiano, Mike Hessman and Fernando Martinez each had two hits. The worst part of this loss was that Ruggiano's home run in the top of the ninth tied it up, only to have OKC get the loss in relief in the bottom of the inning.

San Antonio over Corpus Christi 10-0
This was the eighth loss in a row. I really do not understand why a team with this much talent is imploding this badly even in the tough Texas League. Jake Buchanan (L, 1-2) got touched for seven runs on nine hits in only four innings. Jose Martinez and Jonathan Villar each had two hits with Andy Simunic getting the only other hit. T.J. Steele was 0-2 and is now hitting .157.

GAME OF THE DAY
Lancaster over Stockton 6-2

What went right:  A stellar debut by Tyson Perez and multi-hit games by several of the Jethawks hitters.

Tyson Perez was mentioned by Baseball America as being one of the better late round draft signings by the Astros in 2011. In his first start after being called up from extended Spring Training, he showed just why BA thought that. Ben Orloff had a monster day at the plate as he filled in for Jio Mier at short and is now hitting .321. Lancaster got to .500 with this win, the fourth in a row, and is now in third place in their division, only 1.5 games behind the leader.

Tyson Perez (W, 1-0) - 6IP 2H 0R 0BB 4SO 1HR
Gabriel Garcia - 0.2IP 3H 1R
Jose Trinidad - 1.1IP 0H 0R 1SO
Kirk Clark - 1IP 0H 0R 1SO

Ben Orloff - 3x5 3RBI SB
George Springer - 2x5
Domingo Santana - 2x5 HR
Adam Bailey - 2x5 2B 2R SB
Jonathan Meyer - 2x4 2R SB

What went wrong: Other than a Meyer throwing error and a GIDP by Orloff, there wasn't much to complain about in this one.

PITCHER OF THE DAY
Tyson Perez for a terrific debut. Watch this guy!

PLAYER OF THE DAY
The only 3RBI day belongs to Ben Orloff so Orloff it is.
